They say a dog is a man’s best friend. While I can’t comment on the verity of that quote (not being a big fan of pets myself), I found that Europeans in general definitely believe in it strongly. What else would explain the high population of pet dogs across Europe? Every other person there seems to have a dog as a companion, and brings them along to stores, restaurants, parks, beaches and pretty much wherever they go to. For some people like the gentleman in the picture, one or two pets is clearly not enough. How is that for a pet lover!
